Mission Park consists of 4 houses put together to form one huge ugly award-winning concrete monstrosity. The 4 houses are [[Armstrong House|Armstrong]], [[Pratt House|Pratt]], [[Mills House|Mills]] and [[Dennett House|Dennett]]. It looks like a dungeon (or parking garage, depending on whom you ask) from the inside, a cinder block from the outside, and (reportedly) a phoenix from above. However, since the [[Summer 2003]] renovations, it's extremely nice on the inside, featuring large, well furnished lounges for every four hallways, and general lounges on the ground floor with two televisions, two pool tables, and an old but still awesome foosball table. Many people also think Mission is attractive from the outside, especially when you are walking down mission hill and can see Mission Park with the mountains in the background. The effect can be quite stunning. Though the infamous 'Mission hill' can be a (minor) problem, mission makes up for it by having large and well furnished common rooms. To cement its status, mission also has somewhat large dorms rooms, most of which are singles. Be warned the walls are not just paper thin, but the curtains do little to stop light if you happen to be in an inward facing wing. At least the rooms are carpeted so you can lie on the floor and contemplate the value of joining that club you really know nothing about.

The complex's class make-up has changed over the years. When it was initially built in the early 1970's, it had a mix of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. From the 1980's to the presentuntil Spring 2006, the vast majority of Mission has been was sophomore housing. Most students consider spending their sophomore year in ; since Fall 2006, Mission to be a good thing, as friends' and classmates' closeness makes socialization with new and old friends easier this has been exclusively first-year than any otherhousing.

There has been debate as to whether As of Fall 2023, Williams introduced Engagement Community housing for first-years. Students could opt into this housing on the housing forms they filled out in the summer. Mission hosted the LGBTQIA+ Engagement Community in fact looks like MD2, AAPI Engagement Community in MD3, and Latinx Engagement Community in AP3. In that same year, one anonymous student domesticated a squirrel, killed said squirrel, and held a bird from abovevery large funeral. Judge for yourself:
